Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

“Atishoo-”

Stella kept sneezing today. She rubbed her nose, picked up a glass of water aside to take a sip.

Sherry said with concerns, “Stella, the temperature is dropping recently. Put on more clothes. Don’t get

sick.”

Stella nodded, “Okay. Please go on.”

“Where did I stop? Oh... I recalled it. Liam Keith has been fired by his company. His scandals were

spread everywhere, so no company is willing to hire him now. Fortunately, I’ve moved to your place. He

kept waiting for me downstairs of my apartment. I asked the property manager to call the police.”

“Sherry, you’d better hide from him recently. He has nothing now. It’s possible that he would become

extreme.”

“I know. Don’t worry.” Sherry took a bite on the cake and continued, “By the way, how’s going with Mr.

Conrad and you?”

Stella was choked up by the way how Sherry called Clarence.

She said, “Could you please not be so flexible? You always called him the wretched man not long ago.”

Sherry smiled dearly, “I must know how to appreciate my benefactor. Mr. Conrad has helped me a lot.

How can I still have the heart to curse him at his back? Besides, I don’t think he was so wretched as

we’ve imagined. He treats you not bad, Stella.”

Stella kept silent.

Sherry continued, “Take Vivian Sean for example. We have misunderstood him. He has done those

things all for you. Don’t you feel quite touched? Besides, he...”

Upon hearing her words, Stella had goosebumps all over her body. Hurriedly, she interrupted Sherry,

“Stop it, Sherry! Please stop talking about him!”

She couldn’t meet Clarence every day. Since the incident happened that night, she could occasionally

see him while having breakfast, but they didn’t talk.

Stella was quite satisfied with their current status.

Sherry said, “All right.”

However, she changed to another subject, “Stella, what are you planning to do about the charity

banquet tomorrow night? The host is the Jason family, so Horace will attend it. He’s engaged now.

Would you feel awkward when meeting him?”

“Nope. I’ve made it clear to him already.”

She had told Horace what she thought clearly in the evening when they met in the Conrad’s Mansion.

Horace wasn’t the fact that Stella was worried about.

She was afraid that she might encounter some acquaintances in the charity banquet tomorrow evening.

She was fine with others. Anyway, it was getting cold. As long as she put on more clothes, nobody

would look at her belly deliberately.

She was truly worried about Annie, the lunatic.

Annie was the kind of woman that even nobody provoked her on the street, she would pounce at

someone and bite him or her.

Stella wasn’t afraid of Annie. It was just that once Annie had known that she was pregnant, the whole

Conrad family would know it.

However, Stanford had prepared it already. She must attend it.

After arriving home, Stella didn’t go upstairs immediately. She heated a glass of milk and waited for

Clarence when drinking it in the living room.

Clarence didn’t show up until almost eleven o’clock at night.

Stella stood up, “Good evening, Mr. Conrad.”

Clarence looked at her calmly, “Do I know you?”

Stella was choked up.

The wretched man started being unreasonable again, didn’t he?

She knew that he was mocking her for not speaking to him in the past few days. However, she wasn’t

the only one with the mouth. He didn’t speak to her either, did he?

She whispered, “I want to talk to you, Mr. Conrad.”

Clarence strode over to the sofa and sat down. His thin lips parted slightly, uttering two cold words, “Go

ahead.”

Although his attitude was way too bad, Stella was asking him for help, so she had to be humble, “I’m

going to attend a charity banquet tomorrow night. Annie Conrad should attend it as well. Hence, Mr.

Conrad, could you please...”

Before she finished her words, Clarence interrupted her, “Since you know you’ll meet Annie, why do

you insist on going there?”

Stella explained patiently, “I’ll attend it as the designer of SG Jewelry Magazine. It’s my job. I don’t have

any reason to reject it.”

“Do you have no reason to reject it or are you unwilling to reject it?” Clarence crossed his slender legs

and said indifferently, “You must want to meet Horace Jason, don’t you?”

Stella didn’t want to argue with him on this matter. No matter what she said, he wouldn’t listen. He

would only judge based on his thoughts.

She twitched her lips, “Well, sorry for interrupting you, Mr. Conrad. Please ignore my request.”

After finishing her words, Stella directly turned around and went upstairs.

Clarence gazed at her receding figure. He licked his lips but didn’t utter a word.

He didn’t think it was appropriate for her to attend such an occasion tomorrow.

Back to her room, Stella was lost in thought for a long time. Then she realized that she couldn’t attend

the charity banquet no matter what.

Even if there was a possibility of one in ten thousand only that she would be found pregnant, she didn’t

dare to bet on it.

Stella pulled out her cell phone and texted Stanford, telling him that she couldn’t attend the banquet.

Since she couldn’t attend it, her job would be transferred to Stanford.

After transferring her jobs to Stanford, Stella lay on the bed, looking at the calendar on the nightstand.

It had been a long after she came back to City N. The little fellow in her belly was growing up day by

day.

She would give birth in less than four months.

Thinking of that, Stella became happier. She forgot about the wretched man and the argument with him

tonight.

...

The next day, Stella was quite idle, so she went to check on Channing.

It was the weekend, and Channing wasn’t at school. When Stella found him, he was working part-time

in the cafe opposite the university.

Several girls were standing at the gate of the cafe. With blushed faces, they were excitedly discussing

something. It seemed that they came here all for Channing.

When Stella got closer, she heard what they were talking about.

“I asked him for it yesterday but he didn’t give it to me. Alas... I’m too embarrassed to ask him for it

again. Who would like to go?”

“I won’t go. I heard that the most beautiful girl in our major asked him for the WeChat ID but he didn’t

give it to her. How could he give it to me?”

“Gosh! If he has a girlfriend, his girlfriend must feel quite secured. Jesus! How I wish I were his

girlfriend!”

“Oh, come on! Look at him. His girlfriend must be quite pretty as well.”

“Yeah. I guess she must be better-looking than the most beautiful girl in our major.”

Upon hearing their discussions, Stella curled up her lips into a smile. She pushed the door of the cafe

open and walked in.

In the cafe, customers were almost girls. From time to time, they looked over at the counter.

The owner of the cafe patted Channing on his shoulder with a big smile, “Chan, you are truly my lucky

start. Since you started working for me, our sales have become much higher. What would you like to

have for lunch? It’s on me.”

Channing was about to speak, and he saw Stella come in. He refused politely, “No, but thanks for your

kindness.”

After that, he walked to Stella, “Stella, why are you here?”

Stella said with a smile, “I’m here to check on you.”
